I just found my first emeralds, and I'm scared to mine it lest I mine it with the wrong pick and thus lose it. I'm very early in my game, so I don't have an iron pick yet, but don't want to forget where the emerald is.
I thought the wiki would have this information, but it doesn't appear to.
What kind of pick does it take to mine Emeralds?

Emeralds can only be mined from the ore with an Iron, Diamond, or Netherite pickaxe.
1You must use an Iron Pick or better to mine emeralds
You can use iron or diamond, it doesn't make a difference.
